The acquisition will add products including a wide range of packaging and fastening equipment and supplies for industries that include construction, manufacturing, distribution and agriculture.

B2B Industrial Packaging also operates the a tool repair facility that services strapping tools, nail and staple guns, drills, air compressors and generators for clients from the West Coast to the East Coast. The acquisition will allow B2B Industrial Packaging to expand Alpine’s current tool repair facility.

Previous acquisitions include: Western Metals and Pac Fast in California; and the Lesker Corporation and Anasco, Inc. in Illinois.

B2B Industrial Packaging president Bill Drake said, “This is a great fit for both companies.

Alpine Packaging will have the financial strength and depth of products required to significantly grow the business. B2B Industrial will have the geographic base needed to build a strong presence in the Pacific Northwest.”
